Agnes and Nancy were both confronted with a diagnosis of dementia before they reached the age of 60. For Agnes, this was five years ago, and she still struggles every day with the changes taking place in her body and mind - changes of which she is all too painfully aware. She must accept that she is no longer the scientifically minded, active woman she once was. Nancy also finds the loss of independence difficult to deal with.Agnes & Nancyshows Agnes visiting Nancy, whom she met and befriended at a support group. They work together in the garden, practice yoga, and speak openly about their illness. The film strikes a surprisingly optimistic tone; although these women are struggling with a new identity, they most definitely have not thrown in the towel. They very much enjoy being together, and gain a lot of support from one another in this new phase of life with its unexpected twists and turns.
I battled advanced Parkinson’s disease for 8 years, starting at age 56. My symptoms included tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and severe balance issues. Despite trying many conventional treatments, nothing brought lasting relief. Then I discovered the P-D treatment program from Dr. Madida Sam at Earth Cure Herbal Clinic. I found their contact at www.earthcureherbalclinic.com and reached out via email at info@earthcureherbalclinic.com. Within 6 months of starting the program, my symptoms were completely gone, something I never thought possible. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Madida Sam and his team for helping me regain my life. If you're struggling with chronic illness and looking for an alternative approach, I highly recommend giving this a try. It truly changed everything for me.
